Barracuda ..... ? franchise u later today.... Eye out and how much...????
I need ideas from west coast to? Franchise..... Later ... Gotta go to work

I am on my way to work too!

Alright, so West Coast...some pretty cool stuff out there. I personally have Begin's Cafe, Disneyland, the Folk Restaurant & Apple Store San Francisco. There's lots of other good stuff to be found...Universal Studios, Fireworks Pizza, Apple Computers, Facebook, Banana Republic, etc. Look around towns in LA and SF.

Btw, anybody stop to consider why the new wonder says +20% COINS, rather than INCOME (like every other wonder that boosts profits)? At first I thought Booyah was being sneaky and trying to pull a fast one. Like, your entertainment won't make more money; instead, we will tack on a coin bonus when it makes it's normal profits. But even looked at this way, the amount is the same. So what gives?
 
Changing location on iPad

Greetings

Has anyone had success changing location on the iPad using the method described (deleting app, saving game center setting)?

Nyteowl, thanks for the post...makes it easier than people having to dig for old responses. That is an accurate answer, explained clearly. The percentages and business levels are something a lot of players don't get, and which certainly stumped me at the beginning.

Okay Yogi, so you want to know about location switching...

Everybody has the ability to manually change their location once, and still be able to revert to their GPS setting. The way to do it is simple: close out the game, go into settings and turn off location services, then open game back up and hit the check-in button on the lower left. It will prompt you to manually put in your location. You can pick anywhere in the world and gain access to that area's businesses. Once you turn location services back on, you'll be seen at your "real" location again.

You only get to do this once as location services going off in the future will prompt the selected location to be triggered. BUT, you can fool the system. If you want to pick a new secondary location, you have to delete MT2 and reinstall. Don't get scared! Just delete the app...it will tell you all data will be deleted...stand firm, and when it asks if you want to "keep" or "remove" the game center data, hit KEEP. Now reinstall, and rinse and repeat. You get to manually select new location with the location services off. Best of all, nothing is lost...even the jobs you were doing will still be in progress. Viola!

A few caveats with the delete trick...don't do this if you are on low battery or are in an area with poor reception, as you could lose your town. I would also recommend not doing it from an I-Pad as at least one member was unable to restore their town.

I can confirm that it is totally effective on an I-phone 4 or 4s and players with I-touches have not had any known problems...at least I haven't heard of any.

Hope that helps!
thx bro...it was really helpful..thx alot keep it up:cool::cool:
 
Aw5678: What is the rent interval and rent amount?

I'm tempted to buy more...

(Booyah: Just to let you know, I collected my coins the low-tech way!)

The Luxury Apartments

Rent Interval: 1 hour
Rent amount: 300 coins

Same footprint as a business - 4 per plot

Just to compare:
High Rise Condos cost 10,000 coins, 1,300 population, or about 8 coins per head
VIP Luxery Apts cost 285,000 coins, 12,000 population, or about 24 coins per head

Makes one think the tripling of cost might be in response to the gazillion coins that some people have accumulated.

Obviously the advantage is that each new VIP mansion gives lots of population on a small footprint. I razed six of my grey high rise condos and replaced them with four VIP mansions and still have a gain of ~40,000. Thank goodness I've been saving coins and was able to buy them. But I'm too cheap to do an

Aw5678: What is the rent interval and rent amount?

(Booyah: Just to let you know, I collected my coins the low-tech way!)

It's one hour, I got $360, but I have the cathedral which multiplies, so if you back that out, it makes it $300/1 hr

Plus I think they're really neat looking, I ended up getting a few more. I still only did one finish now tho... Lol I just had to know all the specifics immediately!

Ps- sorry for the old news, I just saw solsvilles post, I replied before I read all the way thru.

I did NOT notice that on the new wonder. I was just on a buying spree. :D It's building right now tho. Hmmm... Did you also get it? I'm keeping my circus also, so, I will do my best to track my coin count, but I'd be curious if others will report what they notice as well...?
 
New P.S.I. Leader!

There is a new P.S.I. leader -

VIP Statue: 9 per plot - 22,222 x 9 = 199,998

Holy Shizzle! :)
 
I'm a bad person

I have no self control. None. I did finish now on my Chinese theatre. I had to know. Yes. I'm hanging my head in shame.

But. I now know, barracuda. It made my Disneyland go from $231 in 3 mins to $277 in 3 mins.

Now I have to go clean the fridge to redeem myself. Unfortunately I do not earn bucks by doing so. Lol ;)
 
Caution: Flying iPods!

YarnGoddess and nyteowl:

I tend to stuff my iPod into my pant pocket (so it's always handy ;)) so it's in a very low profile back protector/cover. Because I can be such a klutz, I'd like to add a tether to it. With the new "shake and bake" feature, it may become even more necessary.

Wear's my bike helmet?

btw, what a pleasure to wake up to you guys' giggle!
========

I do remember the number overflow glitch, but don't remember how big the number was when the glitch happens. The problem might have been resolved? look at the coin number in post #1624
As an aside, for large amounts of Bucks, three dots are being shown and used as placeholders. (Having that many bucks won't ever be a problem for me.)


Told ya I'd turned into a monster! :cool: I had something like 45 of them, but I just got rid of them. I didn't want to trip the overflow in a 32-bit signed integer. Now my poor town is in shambles, and a lot of the things I sold off to make room originally took bucks to buy. So now I'm waiting for the powers that be to download the bucks I just bought - some glitch occurred, and they didn't appear. Even with that, it's going to take a while to replace those. But now I get to reconfigure everything and, once my peeps allow me, I can franchise some businesses. :D
----------

Licat and I are up north. We'd have to throw pretty hard (although the iPad probably sails like a Frisbee). ;)


Hmmm.. So, if I'm at the coffee shop in the near future and get hit in the head by a flying ipod/iphone, I guess I'll know why. :p

Hasn't that problem been resolved and now three dots are being shown and used as placeholders? Look back a few pages, someone had a big screenprint and it was 123,456,789... something like that?

I don't know! But I also figured that $735M or whatever it is gives me enough coins to last for quite a while. If only I had that in bucks ...

Wasn't necessary, pal. The building clearly is meant to give the same sort of boost as a stock exchange, for entertainment buildings, but strangely they worded it as an increase in coins, not income. A few possible reasons in speculating...

1. This is the new wording from here on out...for whatever reason, Booyah has determined that the word "coins" is superior to "income." (quite possible)

2. At some point, they intend to release an entertainment buck-producing building, and therefore they had to distinguish between the types of income. (HIGHLY unlikely)

3. They just messed up and were inconsistent, and they may remedy the slip in language. (also a good possibility)

Anybody else have any thoughts?
 
The Beauty of the Written Word

In ref to your comments ;)
1. The word 'coin being superior to the word 'income': I think it's for clarity--income (or revenue) can mean either coins or bucks, so specifying 'coins' means there is no question.

2. A buck-producing item (while wonderful!) is unlikely. On the off chance one is offered, it will cost a gazillion coins.

3. Also agree this is a possibility.

YarnGoddess - Good morning

That was fast! I just hit $400MM. After reading your post, I added 7 more SEs filling up almost every open area. I'll need to get rid of more high rise condos to open up space.:D

I don't know! But I also figured that $735M or whatever it is gives me enough coins to last for quite a while. If only I had that in bucks ...
 
Boy am I making $$ now. Now I need green bucks who here is willing to franchise4franchise. Meaning Ill franchise you if you do the same. So let me know who is interested:D
 
Aw5678

Aw5678: Thanks for posting the time and revenue for the VIP Luxury Apartment building. Yes, it does look wa-a-ay nicer than the High Rise Condo. I also like the VIP mansion but at 90 Bucks and only 3,400 population, I'm hesitant.

(Your frig must be really clean now! :) ;) Time for me to do Real Life stuff too. yikes!)

I'm in. I could use the bucks too. I've been trigger happy with the 'finish now' business. Lol I'm also getting a bit on edge with everyone else banking coins for the update ;) thinking I should be doing the same, feeling like I may not have enough saved up.
 
Love the new additions!

Hey all,
I figured I would update some info from my end. I have franchised from several people, yes they were in coins, I did the location things so I could get the big businesses coins rolling in. Have also got more stock exchanges on my town, have 18 now, will build more once 2 of the VIP things are done so I can sell some of the high rise condos (Have 60 of those).

I had a land expansion cost me 830k, then 890k, now the next one is 970k which Im currently saving golds for, not sure on the next but Im betting over 1 million.. I only have jsut over 1 mil, been gold trigger happy getting high popularity businesses to make more golds. As the saying goes "Spend money to make more money". Hard to do at first, but it gets easier later on :)

Have checked out some of your towns, and I have enjoyed alot of them. Barracuda Bay, Did you even have ROOM for your VIP?? I didnt see any, or did you start with a new game somehow and have a different BooyahID ?? ** EDIT: Never mind I found the new VIP, wow they look great :) **

Cheers!

I know the meaning of "Limited" - where the items will be removed after the event.

But what is Booyah's meaning of "VIP" - does it mean the items are overly expensive, and that they will remove the items after the weekend/event?

I have absolutely no land to build the new items... I really hope Booyah would release their major update already so I can continue building. I would be very upset if the new items were removed before I can purchase them...

I franchised your Saks 5th Ave in coins... :( and I gifted you a buck to make up for the coins :D

Also anybody know if we can get the LAX airport (LA Intl Airport) I've seen a few other small airports but not LAX specifically.

OK! So I read the updates again:

"Get Movie Awars VIP items today! - Available for limited time only!"

**ARGHHH!! Booyah, please release the major update and provide us with more land please!!**
 
Updated master wish list

Hi All - I took some time to put together the "MASTER WISH LIST" from everyone's suggestions. I tried to make it organized so that it will be easy to submit to Booyah and clearly understood. Please take some time this weekend to review, so that we can revise and submit on Monday.

One request - Please put any responses in the the thread on the Proboard forum: http://mytown2.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=wish&action=display&thread=32
Thank you and have a great weekend y'all. :)

PRIORITY ITEMS (TOP 5 MOST POPULAR SUGGESTIONS):

1. More Levels above 50.

2. More Land beyond 7x7!

3. Warehouse - To store purchased items which are still retrievable for later use.

4. ATM exchanges COINS to BUCKS

5. Easier to get BUCKS. (See below for suggestions on this).

BUCKS/INCOME/COINS:

1. Give more bucks on the daily lotto for every day a player logs in - max 5 bucks a day or increased beyond the 5-day limit.

2. Reduce price of Wonders and some of the Decorations/Store Items.

3. Reduce the cost of Premium Upgrade Looks to 3-5 Bucks. 20 is too expensive for each remodeling.

4. Have a Bucks OR Coins option when buying new Businesses. For instance, buy Disneyland for 6000bucks/6000000 coins.

5. Lower the price of land/lot. If people don't have the money to expand, they will lose interest in the game.

GENERAL WISHLIST ITEMS:

1. Move the Business Level “Upgrade” button off of the job timer list and onto the Stats page. (Almost everyone has accidentally hit the Upgrade button while trying to hit the “10 Hour” button and unintentionally wasted 50-80 Bucks)

2. Would like to be able to buy discontinued items from neighbors, i.e Halloween, Thanksgiving

3. Add a “Completed Goals” list.

4. When collecting Revenue, please make the coins and stars fly away faster. They can get in the way and have caused incorrect tapping.

5. Please fix the missing character feature, e.g., Valentine Cupid Fountain - not everyone is receiving the flying cupid in their towns or others that are missing are the sedans and pickup trucks.

6. Real storefronts for big name partners.

7. More cities from around the world

SOCIAL:

1. Increase number of Daily Gifts from 5 to 10, 15 or more.

2. Add the ability to search by Town Name.

3. When visiting Friends' towns, show the distance to that town. (Miles are now shown on the flags when using the "Explore" function but not for the "Friends".)

4. Towns names and #'s together on signs

5. Pop ups or somehow have the ability to communicate with mayors of other towns. Similar to the functionality in the original MyTown game.

6. Be able to alphabetize Friends' towns, by name

NEW ITEM SUGGESTIONS:

1. Add some cats in the towns. There are currently dogs, but no cats.

2. Add more types of homes to choose from - Plantations (with wrought iron victorian fences)
or purchase the wrought iron fences.

3. Ambulance hall and fire station, with fire truck and ambulance coming out of the bay doors.

4. Like to see an "air ambulance" you can purchase and have it fly to hospital to drop off patient. Maybe send that helicopter to someone else’s town to drop off a patient so their "hospital" could collect the "bill" money.......something like that.

5. Like to be able to purchase oil wells, different types of "classic cars", gas stations, fish store with "live aquarium of top. neat interactive car wash with cars coming in and out of the car wash that looks like a silver pail with bubbles rolling off the top, candle store, a pond with a fishing dock .

6. Surprise birthday gift to gamers who are playing and having a birthday, C/O Booyah.

7. Make the business offices look a little less "outer space".

8. Let use have a screen where we can customize color of the 3 and "premium " office buildings.

9. Football field, roller skating rink, pool. Upgrade the "casino" wonder. I don’t think I saw over 2 anywhere in the towns I was in. Fishing tackle store with a Muskee sitting on top of the store. Look at Haywood, Wis. World’s largest fishing museum.

10. Some kind of slot machines that would pay out COINS.

11. Be able to make and personalize your own street signs and then buy them.

12. Put in parking meters and collect then collect the "rent" coins.

13. Virtual town clock that keeps working time. We have one in our town. AND IT CHIMES ON THE HOUR.......THAT WOULD BE NICE!!!!!!! Make that affordable, please.

14. A floating fish/seafood restaurant. We have one here on the river. Packed 7 days a week
 
GENERAL WISHLIST ITEMS:

1. Move the Business Level “Upgrade” button off of the job timer list and onto the Stats page. (Almost everyone has accidentally hit the Upgrade button while trying to hit the “10 Hour” button and unintentionally wasted 50-80 Bucks)

Typo?
Should read "4 Hour", Having 10 hours was another suggestion :)
 
Typo?

No, I have a 10 hr option. Some of us do. I don't know that we ever really figured out why some of us do and some of u guys only have a 4 hr max.

Mine are:
3 mins
30 mins
2 hrs
10 hrs

I'm glad I have a 10 hr, but having a 15 min (one of ur guys intervals, right?) would be kinda nice. ;) grass is always greener.
